I could see the factors could be laziness or lack of exercise because they are big reasons for America’s weight problem. Lack of motivation to get off the couch and being too busy also contribute to weight gain. Because we are on the go so much, we just pick up fast food to eat and then never loose the weight that we gained. Once people are hungry they will eat anything that is fast and easy to get. Also, people get lazy and don’t want to cook food.
I think that the biggest reason for obesity is simply fast food. Fast food is the biggest reason is false advertising, saturated fats, fatty acids, high sodium, and high cholesterol. It doesn’t help when they supersize the fries and drinks either. The biggest company to blame is McDonalds because of their deep fried foods. Here are some of the foods that are the worst for you. For example, a double quarter pounder with cheese has 19 grams of saturated fat, 740 calories, 380 calories from fat, 42 g of trans fat, 155 mg of cholesterol. A large French fry has 500 calories, 25 g of fat, 3.5 g of saturated fat, 350 mg of sodium and 220 calories from fat. A new angus bacon and cheese burger has 790 calories, 350 calories from fat, 39 g of total fat, 17 g of saturated fat, 145 mg of cholesterol and 2070 g of sodium.
These items may be a fast choice, or even taste good, but they some of the worst foods for you because of the high cholesterol, high sodium and trans fats. There are many reasons for overweight people in America, but the biggest reason is McDonalds fast food. If you must choose a fast choice, Taco Bell offers a "Fresco" option to put on your choice. They put on tomatoes and lettuce and take out the fake cheese. Another healthy choice would be Sub Way or a sandwich shop. They have healthy choices that won't leave you feeling sick after you ate it. The bottom line is that there are much healthier choices out there.
